NDISWRAPPER WITH SUSE LINUX -- MINI-HOWTO
=========================================
Setting up ndiswrapper with SUSE Linux 10.0 requires the following
steps:
(1) Get an NDIS driver for your wireless network adapter. See
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ for lists of supported
chipsets and driver links.
(2) Each driver consists of a <driver>.inf file and one or more
DLLS. As superuser, install the driver with "ndiswrapper
-i <driver>.inf". This copies the driver to a directory below
/etc/ndiswrapper/.
(3) Load the ndiswrapper module with "modprobe ndiswrapper". The
system log /var/log/messages will indicate success or failure.
(4) To ensure that ndiswrapper will always use the same network
interface name, call "ndiswrapper -m". This step is optional;
usually ndiswrapper will not change to a different interface.
(5) Configure the wireless network adapter in YaST, Network Devices,
Network Card. Choose "Other", Device Type = Wireless, Configuration
Name = 0, Module Name = ndiswrapper. Leave the other fields to
their defaults. Configure the wireless settings.
